Original genesis was Sport Utility Bass - it started as a darkside concept

Wow, now that's interesting. Thanks. Kind of weird though, when asked what is the guitar you're playing, I'll reply "It's my sport utility bass 1".

Sometimes things get combined, like:

LEAL = Limited Edition Albert Lee

Sometimes, people will mention something like 2006LE or 2008LE.

That's kind of self explanatory if you remember the LE colors from those years.

2004 was Radiance Red (Rad Red) and Envy Green, which I don't see abbreviated very often. Generally, I don't see 2004LE as an abbreviation, come to think of it. That's probably because it was before EBMM started doing that run of annual LE packages. It probably also has something to do with the fact that there were two colors that year.

2005 was Buttercreme. 2006 was the black with gold hardware. 2007 was Blue Dawn. 2008 was Sequoia Gold.
